So Long, See You Tomorrow by Bombay Bicycle Club

So Long, See You Tomorrow, Bombay Bicycle Club's fourth album, arrived on Vagrant on 3 February 2014, borrowing its title from William Maxwell's novel. Frontman Jack Steadman wrote it while travelling through India, Japan and Turkey, and you can hear the passport stamps: the London band push further down the sample-happy electronic road they'd opened on A Different Kind of Fix, folding in world-music textures and letting the guitars that ruled their debut take a back seat.

Steadman produced it himself, the first time a band member had held the reins, and they cut it in their own studio, with Mark Rankin, whose mixing credits include Queens of the Stone Age's ...Like Clockwork, handling the mix. Jamie MacColl, Suren de Saram and Ed Nash keep it moving, Lucy Rose and Rae Morris add guest vocals, and lead single "Carry Me" came with an interactive video. "Luna" is the one that reached the countdowns.
